Electric & Water Well issues

 

 

Nothing like having to call an electrician out because you have no water.  Mr. C. first called a nice young fellow out and he was behind schedule but was able to patch the issue for the day.  

Then he called Ben (our dear neighbor) he came after work and got us in good working condition.  

So apparently we had a goffer that chewed thru our wires that ran electric to our water well.  I know for sure that we can’t go without water.  

So glad we got the electric back on.  So thankful that we had someone to call regarding the electric.  Hopefully this fix last us for several years.  

Being a homeowner can be a blessing till repairs are needed.  Then it can become quite expensive.  I try hard to keep a raining day fund saved.  As you never know what is going to happen. 

Chopped off my hair!

This is my new do.  Wanted to get my hair done before we go on vacation.  Stacy cut off around 5 inches.  It was mostly dead ends.  I couldn’t believe it has been 13 months since my last hair appointment.  I really need to be more conscious of getting my hair done every 8 weeks or so.  

I love the cut but wish my color was a bit more silver.  Am thinking next color I will ask her to go a tad bit darker.  Arrived at shop at 4:15 pm and got home a little after 7pm.  Made for a long day.  

 

Happy 31st Birthday Brody!

Brody with his cakes.  Thankfully the rain stopped so we could enjoy the rest of the celebration.  The view is great as I enjoy the water. 

Mr. C. And I just enjoying visiting with everyone.  A random picture of us enjoying life. I treasure the photos that we have of us.  There isn’t many that is for sure.

The children had fun chasing each other.  Sure wish I had some of their energy.  I don’t think they slowed down the entire time we were at lake.

I must admit I really enjoyed the afternoon at Lake Taylor.  Making memories and getting together with others always makes my heart happy.  I am hoping to spend more time at the lake.  Since I do have my fishing license all I will need is my lake permit for the summer.  The lake permit will be $17.00 for a year that covers Mr. C. and me.  

Farmers Market Chickasha Oklahoma

I had seen the Farmers Market on way to Air show and knew I would stop by on way back home.  First thing I bought was a sourdough jalapeño cheddar bread.  I have seen on YouTube many ladies making sourdough bread. Knew I wanted to try it.  

This nice lady and her daughter had a cute booth.  Her daughter is in 4h and had several projects that she made and was selling. Mom offered classes in making sourdough bread.  Wouldn’t that be a fun girls day?  Although most of my friends are not interested in this lifestyle. 

Next time I plan on buying the homemade buns.  They looked really good. Although I don’t think Mr. C. will like them as much as I will. 

Fresh vegetables aplenty.  Was a bit sad that tomatoes aren’t ready yet.  I was planning on buying a few to make tacos tonight.  There went that plan. Instead I am going to ALDIs and picking up deli meat turkey and Ham.  Will grab a couple of different sliced cheeses,  am going to make us sandwiches using the sourdough bread. 

I could tell many vendors had left by the time I arrived. For some reason I feel like I have to buy from each vendor.  Not sure why I feel guilty if I don’t, does anyone else feel the same? 

My goodies I bought was a car freshener, a bee book mark, plum jelly and sourdough jalapeño cheddar sandwich loaf, zucchini’s and yellow squash. So bought from four different vendors.  Must remember to take cash as several vendors do not cards.  Thankfully I had enough cash for my bread and bookmark.

 

Today was great and I enjoyed my adventures.  Felt good to be out and making memories.  Am telling you this is the season I am going to be exploring.  I might be going on a budget but still having fun living life.  

 

Chickasha Okla Air Show 2024

Brenda asked me if I wanted to go to the air show and at first I said no thanks.  Then I called her back and said yes I will follow y’all up there.  So I left house at 8 am and met her at the intersection for Highway 81.  It’s about 25 minutes to the Chickasha Municipal Airport.

The signs were posted as we walked toward the activities.  Which was good to see as I wasn’t sure what to expect.  This was my first time to experience an air show. Or else I just don’t remember.  

The map was not wrong.. we walked all over the area.  As you can tell this post is over loaded with pictures.  I absolutely enjoyed all the sights to be seen.  People watching never grows boring for me. 

I had no ideal Chickasha had this bus. Definitely caught my eye.  You know they put some money into this  project. 

Caiden is autistic and did really good today.  I felt blessed he held my hand as we were walking.  He also had me carry his goodies he picked up from the assorted vendors. I myself enjoy the free koozies, ink pens,pad of paper and the squeeze balls.  

Jessica and Caiden trying to figure out our next direction to take.  We just let Caiden lead us.  What I liked was he wasn’t in a hurry.  So by letting him be in control that helped with him not being over stimulated.  We tended to stay away from large groups of people. 

How cute is this beetle? Caiden was intrigued by this car.  I liked how they placed the cars under the hood.  Made it stand out for sure especially to the younger ones. 

Was Ted a picture of the three of them. Would you believe I forgot to get one of me.  Should have taken a selfie in front of a smaller plane or something.

Purple corvette is beautiful! Purple is one of my favorite colors.  As we were getting finished with the car show area more of the antique cars started arriving.

Am glad I went and enjoyed the morning with family.  

This is special to us as Destry Horton is from Rush Springs and died fighting a fire.  He was well liked in our community.  He went back to try to save Larry Joe not realizing Larry Joe was already in truck.  Just a horrible situation. 

Did get to see many of our service men out and about this morning.  

How cute is this airplane?  It is show ready!  It was my favorite.  

Overall today was a great experience.   To sure why I haven’t been attending more air shows.  You can bet from this point on I will be attending more of these type of events.  I’m close to Fort Sill, Altus Air Force base and Tinker Air Force Base just to name a few.  Am sure they offer events as well.  Now I am on a mission to locate more fun days. 

If you see an event like this being held go enjoy it!  You will not regret it.  Life is to short not to be living life and enjoying outings with family and friends.  

 

Renting a cabin for Vacation at Broken Bow Okla

This is the cabin we are leaning towards for our upcoming vacation.  It’s definitely bigger than the ones I was looking at for just Mr. C. And I.  We are now going to share with Brody and. Savannah and boys.  I’m really looking forward to this family vacation. 

So many things I want to do while in Broken Bow.  First I definitely want to do Girls gone wine.  Everyone raves about this place.  It has a cozy boutique winery & gift shop.  I know I’m taking some frozen Wine-A-Rita’s home. Then Fish Tales Winery & Vineyard is on my list as well.  Can you tell I really want to incorporate wineries into my vacation?  

 Would like to make a stop at the Forest Heritage Center to get a few brochures for my journals. I am currently working on a June journal for Swap Bot.  They might even have some coupons on activities we can do with Lane and Landon. 

 For shopping I would like to go check out Janet's Treasure Chest.  My cousin's wife Whitney says it is full of fun stuff.  Broknbo Vintage Market has souvenirs and gifts for all ages. They have a second room  that host a well organized flea market featuring antiques and local art.  

They offer many great places to eat.  Am hoping  that we all will go to Greatful Head Pizza Oven & Tap Room.  Would also like to try The Blue Rooster it offers Southern eats.  Serves a full bar, outside seating and live music.

I am super excited about this trip.  The drive is about 4 hours and 15 minutes from us.  I haven't been on a decent road trip in forever. Mr. C. always laughs at me with all the junk food and drinks I think we must buy before we even leave town. Of course I know we will make a few pit stops on the way down to Broken Bow Oklahoma. 

Shenanigans with Kyndall

Kyndall and I spent several hours outside.  She rode the riding toy, played with her baby dolls, and blew bubbles.  

Kyndall likes her picture to be taken.  She should as many as I take of her every time she comes to my house.

Kyndall stayed all night last night.  We ended up going to sleep around 10 pm.  Her dad called us at 11:30 pm and woke us up.  I wasn’t very happy, especially when he said I was just wondering what y’all are doing.  

We went to my great niece Laiklyn’s birthday party.  Kyndall and Trevor had so much fun playing on the water bounce house.  Was a good time with family. 

Trevor and Kyndall laughed and had such a good time at Laiklyn’s birthday party.  This water slide was a big hit for all the kids at the party.

The mermaid theme was super cute. Thinking it would be cute for one of my granddaughters birthdays.  Kara sure made this a cute party.

Hope Laiklyn had a great birthday!  She loved all her presents she received.  I bought her a princess magnet set, sweet tart rope candy, flavored popsicles (she pit in freezer as soon as they were in her hands) and a small scribble pony, card with $10.00.  I did wait till the last moment to buy her gifts.
